pupăză

Etymology
Compare 🇨🇬. Most likely an imitative substratum word, akin to 🇨🇬, or possibly derived from a root pupă (now found only in Aromanian), of onomatopoetic origin. Other languages show similar forms, compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬, etc. The first part of the word has traditionally been linked to the 🇨🇬, and it has been attempted to derive the Romanian word from a 🇨🇬, but this is unlikely. The suffix could indicate a borrowing from the term.
